How safe are S.A. drivers? Safer than Dallas and Austin

San Antonio has pretty bad drivers, but not as bad as some of our Texas peers.

In the annual report of the

country’s safest (or most dangerous) drivers by Allstate, San Antonio ranked 168th out of 193. While that’s not good — we’re 36 percent more likely to have a crash than the national average — at least we’re not the worst.

The downfall of San Antonio’s ranking is that we actually have become worse drivers in the past few years. In 2005, drivers went an average of 7.8 years between collisions. This year, it’s an average of 7.3 years.

Washington, D.C., has the worst drivers, while Sioux Falls, S.D., has the safest.
